Router nicknames
Please see my screen shot. Does anyone know how to name these routers so on the Android Nighthawk app I can distinguish them from each other? If I click on one and then click on the image of the route...

Android version 2.12.0.1770.
I have these routers in my vacation homes and the houses are connected by point to point antennas. I live in a remote area with limited internet coverage, so I have to make my own network between houses.

Does the 3 vertical dots have any options?

If you selecting on one of them and go in to the settings for the picked router, can you edit or change any with in?
I know on some routers there is the host name section seen on the routers web page. Wondering if maybe changing the host router name on the routers web page using a web browser first would maybe see a change on the NH app.

I have messed around in the settings for quite a while. I have never been able to find anything that transfers a name to the NH App overview screen. I know where to change the router names, but that name does not seem to transfer to that screen that I need.
